The RenCen was the largest privately financed project of its time -- it sought no tax incentives. It came when downtown Detroit was not viewed as attractive. Interesting to compare to GM's new HQ, where tax breaks help projects secure a higher return on the private investment.

Shifting workers from the RenCen to Hudson's Detroit means the project is unlikely to meet promises of job creation and tax growth that helped justify a large public subsidy. bridgedetroit.com/net-loser-gilb…

Master Plan primer from the city of Detroit
The DETROIT highway sign cost $269,275 instead of $400,000 as reported in some places. Five smaller 'Welcome to Detroit' signs cost $135,900, so it was a total of $425,434 for the whole project.
Here's a 🧵of the 9 Michigan political figures who have been charged over last 13 months for crimes related to the movement of money in Lansing
This week in the notebook: 💰Riverfront hotel get $142M in tax breaks 😇Deal sets 'good example' among flawed community benefits process 🏡Housing values are up - especially for Hispanic neighborhoods 🍻Permission yanked for outdoor biergarten mailchi.mp/bridgedetroit/…
Another huge haul for @RepRashida Tlaib, nearly $2M, bringing her cash reserves to over $5M. That’s above and beyond what many MI Senate candidates did last quarter, excluding Slotkin.
TIL Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is a millionaire. She's reporting about $2.2 million in securities and investments -- and no liabilities -- on her personal financial disclosure form. It appears she voluntarily disclosed those values, which were optional.
yesterday: played tennis at a nearby park, mowed the lawn, swapped stories with my neighbor on his porch for an hour and raked leaves while the sun came down

After nearly two years with @MLive, I’m joining the good people at @BridgeMichigan as a Capitol reporter. Don’t be a stranger: [email protected]
Some personal news: this week will be my last with @MLive. Deeply grateful for all the colleagues, sources and opportunities that helped me grow as a reporter and a professional in the nearly 2 years I've spent here. (I won't be going far. More on that soon.)
you wouldn’t last an hour in the asylum where they raised me
Not getting on any one publication, here, but Detroit media would do well not to clumsily try to shoehorn Black Bottom into every backstory. Everything east of Woodward and south of Mack wasn't "Black Bottom," and this wider area was pretty ethnically/racially diverse. 1/

@PolarBarrett It was built at a time when we didn't have nearly the same number (and scale) of incentive programs as we do, today. This is the game, now. Don't hate the player; hate the game. Legislature after legislature has hooked these corporations on this "free" money.
@PolarBarrett @MayorMikeDuggan Yep!! We spotted it too!!
@PolarBarrett It’s almost like the community organized for years to get a substantial community benefits ordinance on the ballot, and then buisness/development interests got a watered down version passed instead…
@PolarBarrett $270,000 is still absolutely fucking insane. 10000% some insider bullshit here.
@PolarBarrett Looks better now than it did when this image was taken.
This just reminded me I saw this on fb marketplace last night & was cracking up.
The DETROIT highway sign cost $269,275 instead of $400,000 as reported in some places. Five smaller 'Welcome to Detroit' signs cost $135,900, so it was a total of $425,434 for the whole project.
Oh good only a little over a quarter million dollars

Do any major newspapers/subscription outlets allow you to pay for access to individual articles? Or do they all force you to subscribe? All for paywalls, but frustrating that I’m asked to buy a recurring subscription to a small paper across the country to read good reporting.
Will the City of Detroit department responsible for the sign respond, @PolarBarrett ?
I’m crying this dude made a diss track on the Detroit sign they just put up 😭😭
